FCC ID: QI2-EMSM-100 Invensys HCS Electric Meter 1 of 16 900MHz FHSS EMISSIONS TEST REPORT FOR A LOW POWER TRANSMITTER I. GENERAL INFORMATION Requirement:Federal Communications Commissions Test Requirements: 15.205, 15.207, 15.209, 15.247 Applicant: Robertshaw Controls Company d/b/a Invensys Home Control Systems Product ID: FCC ID: QI2-EMSM-100 II. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) The Invensys FCC ID: QI2-EMSM-100 a frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transceiver. The Invensys “vCon RF Meter” unit is a single phase electricity meter that utilizes an iCon Electric Meter transceiver module to communicate accumulated electricity readings to the RF Gateway unit. The Electric Meter Transceiver Module operates in the U.S. ISM band between 902 and 928 MHz. The module incorporates a microcontroller and an r.f. integrated circuit that form a frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver operating under FCC part 15.247. . Transmitter Specification TX Power12dBm Frequency Deviation (FSK)+/- 20 kHz Frequency of operation905 – 924.6 MHz Data Rate19.2 kbps Number of channels50 Channel Separation400 kHz Typical 20dB occupied bandwidth 150 kHz III.

Antenna connector requirement The antenna is permanently attached to the product. 15.204 Antenna description The electric meter transceiver module uses a permanently attached built-in antenna: Antenna descriptionGainMFR name electric meter antenna-1.08 dBi maxInvensys HCS Measured antenna data and radiation patterns are presented in a separate pdf attachment. 15.247(a) Frequency hopping spread spectrum definition Pseudorandom frequency hopping sequence: The transmitter cannot coordinate its hopping sequence with the hopping sequence of other transmitters, or vice versa, for the purpose of avoiding the simultaneous occupancy of individual hopping frequencies by multiple transmitters Each access unit has an individual ID number and there is no link or association between two access units so there is no simultaneous occupancy of individual hopping frequency transmission of two or more access units. Equal hopping frequency use: The EUT utilizes 50 hopping channels. Hopset is 50 channels long, then repeats. On average all channels are used equally. System receiver input bandwidth and receiver hopping capability: Receiver 26 dB bandwidth is 200 kHz, approximately equal to 26 dB bandwidth of TX. Receiver channel hops are synchronized to transmitter operating frequency.

The EUT was placed on a wooden table resting on a turntable on the open air test site. The search antenna was placed 3m from the EUT. The EUT antenna was mounted vertically as per normal installation. 2. The turntable was slowly rotated to locate the direction of maximum emission at each emission falling in the restricted bands of 15.205. 3. Radiated emissions were investigated for a LOW channel, a MID channel, and HIGH channel. Emissions were investigated to the 10 th harmonic. 4. Once maximum direction was determined, the search antenna was raised and lowered in both vertical and horizontal polarizations. The maximum readings so obtained are recorded in the data listed below. Test Results: Worst case results are presented. Refer to data sheets in separate attachments. Restricted band emissions meet 54 dBuV/m. Other undesired emissions from the transmitter meet the -20 dBc requirement in 15.247(c). 24-26 July 2002Engineer;C.
